Abstract
Three patients with neuropathologically confirmed frontotemporal demen tia, motor neuron disease type, manifested hallucinations. In this dem entia, the superficial layers of the frontal and temporal cortices are predominantly affected. Hallucinations may emerge as release phenomen a secondary to selective laminar cortical involvement.
